Kitchen Gadgets that aren't shit - Things they say you'll use everyday but you actually use them every day

[Bugaboo]

There are so many shitty kitchen gadgets that you buy and they stay in the back of the cupboard the next 1000 years until historians find them in the ruins of your house.
Let's talk gadgets that actually do not suck and are useful

The one I always talk about is the crockpot, I love my crockpot because I can make a large amount of food without having to stand in front of the stove for an hour. The only thing I wish it could do was brown ground beef and onions nicely because I always have to do that in a pan before transferring to the crockpot. Otherwise it's great for all kinds of things.

A dehydrator. Makes it easy to dry herbs and meats.

 

[Rand /pol/]

There are none.

 

[Ol' Puss]

I'm pretty fond of my George Foreman grill. I love making burger patties on it.

I'd be dead or starving without my rice cooker. Doubles as a steamer, slow cooker, timer and safe storage, and if all else fails, I get an easy and astonishingly cheap side with every meal.

 

[Bad Times]

An infomerical can opener. It has never failed to open a can, ever. I've used others and this is the most sucessful one because it has no bullshit other than you clamp it onto a can and twist the knob. Parents owned one and now I own one.

kitchen-aid stand mixer.

 

[Flowers For Sonichu]

Sous Vide. Ridiculously expensive but it cooks everything perfectly

kitchen-aid stand mixer.

I second this as well. Used these appliances in my cooking class and they never failed.

The grandson of the creator of Kitchen-Aid was my history teacher, and I went to school with the creator's great-granddaughter.

Electric kettles are probably the perfect counter top appliance. Heating water quickly has so many applications(coffee, tea, ramen noodles, etc).

fuck i didn't even think of that since it's just "part of my kitchen."

I also like using mine to heat water for pasta instead of using the gas on the stovetop.

 

[DeadwastePrime]

a knife. to cut things

♫i cut myself today, to see if i still feel♫

Spoiler: Zyliss Rotary Cheese Grater

I never use anything else to grate parmesan. (This picture doesn't have the blade I use though, which has more but smaller holes.)

If you guys wanna see some shitty ones check out Mike Jeavons on YouTube, he goes through and tests these items.

A friend of mine told me a hell of a lot of these informercial items are for disabled people, specific to people with the inability to move.

I liked it until I tried to clean it.

I'm quite fond of flat graters because you can also use them to dump the water out from boiling noodles.

I make hard boiled eggs in mine.

kitchen-aid stand mixer.

I'd love a stand mixer with a dough attachment... thingy... the thing that kneads dough.
I love making bread but my bread machine is on it's last legs

You’re thinking of the dough hook attachment.

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

I don't have many kitchen appliances (hell I don't have a toaster) but I use my waffle iron pretty often.
